    Presenter: Rachel Hammond, Donor Research Coordinator, Moody Bible Institute of Chicago

    Genealogy is more than a personal hobby—it’s a powerful tool for prospect research

    Join us for an insightful session that explores how family history can reveal valuable relationship insights, hidden philanthropic patterns, and strategic opportunities for donor engagement.

    In this session, you'll learn:

    • How genealogy can enhance donor identification and relationship mapping
    • When genealogical research is most effective in the fundraising cycle
    • Who should conduct this research and how it intersects with prospect research
    • What data—like intergenerational giving and legacy affiliationscan inform strategy
    • Which tools and resources help uncover and map family connections

    Whether you’re new to genealogy or deepening your expertise, this session offers actionable strategies to turn family genealogy into fundraising intelligence.

    We hope to see you there!

    Please note: This session will be recorded.
    The recording will be made available exclusively to APRA GP Members.
    Non-members are welcome to attend the live session, but will not have access to the recording.

    Couldn’t make it to Baltimore this year? Or maybe you attended and want to keep the momentum going?

    Join us for a special recap of APRA Prospect Development 2025: Explore New Depths, happening on August 19–22 in Baltimore, MD. This premier annual conference brings together professionals across prospect research, relationship management, data science, and fundraising strategy.

    Several of our colleagues who attended will be sharing their top 2–3 takeaways—the key insights, strategies, or ideas that resonated most with them.

    This session is an opportunity to:

    • Bring valuable ideas back to the team

    • Spark discussion and practical application

    • Share and learn together—even if you didn’t attend

    Whether you're curious about what was covered or eager to reflect with others, come explore new depths and help us carry the energy of the conference forward.

    We hope to see you there!

    This session will not be recorded.
